Somewhere between Nashville and San Jose -

All this attention on Don Imus, and his impact on the national media scene was rather limited. He was barely in the Top 20 of national radio shows, and his TV simulcast of the show on MSNBC drew about 350,000 households. But, it New York and Washington Imus was a big deal and now he's the symbol for a discussion on the American cultural chasm: the one that has always existed between the elites and the rest of us, between white and black, between young and old, between rich and poor.

Where Imus erred was not recognizing that sooner or later his form of humor - anything goes - would not longer be funny to most of us.

Bonds homers twice in Pittsburgh, just when you thought he might really have lost it.

The Commish says he's not sure he'll be there for the home run record, Hank Aaron says he will certainly NOT be there when Bonds breaks Aaron's record. And, how much does the sporting world care about Bonds?

In the season when he is about to break one of the most storied records in the history of American sports, Barry Zito and Bruce Bochy are on the cover of the team's media guid.

Enough said.

It's amazing that about the only place in America where you can't save emails is the White House.

This Administration's combination of arrogance and incompetence is almost laughable. Nothing much funny about: three thousand dead soldiers, 20,000 maimed soldiers and a trillion dollars in the nation's treasury gone. And how about our moral standing in the world? That is a sooooo last century.
